Maharaji: More Than Words, Melbourne 2005-09-23

Prem Rawat: Words of Peace, Melbourne 23rd September 2005
More Than Words DVD 06V1_MTW

Prem Rawat, widely known by the honorary title Maharaji, has been traveling the world for more than 30 years, bringing a unique message of peace. He gave his first public addresses at the age of three, and by the age of 13, he was responding to invitations to speak in the United States and Great Britain [as Guru Maharaj Ji, The Lord of the Universe]. His message is from the heart. He speaks about the possibility for each person to find peace within, regardless of circumstances. Addressing a distinguished audience at the invitation of the United Nations Association of Malaysia, he recently said, Peace is a fundamental necessity and begins with each individual and yet, peace s possible. Through the Prem Rawat Foundation, he also spearheads significant humanitarian initiatives [rubbish:: TPRF gives aid of $0.5 million p.a.] aimed at improving the lives of people most in need. From large cities to remote villages, millions of people around the world come to him for inspiration and guidance. Even as his audiences increase, Prem Rawat's message remains directed to each individual. If you are looking for fulfillment and peace, he says, the solution lies within. If that is what you want, I can help. I can help.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and Channel 31 viewers. My name is Leila Koren and I'm very happy to have been asked to speak tonight and to welcome Maharaji to Melbourne. I'd like to tell you a little about myself and what Maharaji and his message personally mean to me. I spend my days teaching yoga and making shows for Channel 31. Especially in the line of yoga, people ask me what I do beyond the physical for a bit of peace and calm in my life. I say to them, you can watch Words of Peace, 8.30, Monday nights, Channel 31. The message Maharaji brings is simple, it's refreshing and it's sincere. I was very lucky to have known about Maharaji my whole life. And that was because of my parents. So the message of peace was there, it was all around me. I didn't have to look. But it was only as I grew older that I really started listening to what was being said. What Maharaji was talking about finally hit home and I realised he so beautifully focused me back to me so I could enjoy my existence one breath at a time. Slowly I realised when I took the time out to watch a video of Maharaji or to go and see him speaking live at an event, I felt my life had more colour and vibrancy. Well, it didn't have more, I could see it more. I was reminded of that happiness and that peaceful place inside, no matter how crazy the outside world gets. Even at uni I would look around at all the serious faces and think, it's so strange that I could have such a nice experience and in my philosophy classes, people would endlessly discuss the meaning of life and all those things and it was great because I felt like I actually had a reference point. So the great thing about this is also it was just for me, it was for nobody else. I originally thought having inner peace would maybe help my boyfriend troubles or help me get better marks at university. But as you may know, peace is not really about your problems. Maharaji made me understand that troubles come and they go. So I could sometimes sidestep the problems by being a little bit more conscious. He taught me a way to go inside and to focus on me and to be filled with a quietness and a peace that is always there. I remember Maharaji saying that the heart is like a bird and because I'm Australian I think of a lyrebird with its big tail. And it will only dance if it's very tranquil. I can't run up to it and demand it to dance for me. I have to be still and wait. If I can get as simple as my heart is, then I know my life will be very beautiful. So I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you very much, Maharaji, for everything. I treasure my contentment.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like you to join me in welcoming Maharaji.

Well, thank you for a warm welcome. Yesterday I was in Canberra talking about the same subject that I talk about around the world and the topic, when it comes in words and you see it on a line, it's simple enough and for most people it's a nice thing. When you talk about peace, that's nice, that's good. But the big surprise is the kind of peace I talk about.

Because there is a peace that is so inherent and the desire for it is so inherent. And it is so inherent in every single human being that it is not taught. It is not learned. And obviously you have to distinguish between the behaviors that are learned and behaviors that are innate. The fact that somebody can wiggle their ears and there are people who can do that and there are certain people who can't do that. Versus breathing. There's a difference. And I'll begin with the very basic premise. If for five minutes you didn't wiggle your ears, if for half an hour, for one hour you didn't wiggle your ears, and you were good at it, you were good at wiggling your ears, but for half an hour, for one hour you did not wiggle your ears, no harm done. I mean sincerely, really no harm done. Versus you didn't breathe for one whole hour. Big harm done. All of a sudden you're going to hear sirens and you're going to find yourself in some ambulance being driven off to some hospital and some doctor going, he's not breathing or she's not breathing. There is a difference.

There are so many things that we learn in this world. And those things that we learn in this world are still trying to be defined. It's not over yet. And believe me, the definitions of those things will not be finished in your lifetime or my lifetime. Because they have been going on since they figure out how to write words. And people have been having their debates and how is this and this is this way, should it be this way, is it this way, is this appropriate? But nobody of all the inventions in the world, nobody has really felt any reason to reinvent breathing. I mean, there are people who have thought about, you know, it would be nice if we could breathe underwater because that would be lovely. We wouldn't need all this scuba equipment and all of that. But breathing we must do. It is inherent.

So I go around the world and I ask people, what is inherent to you? You're a human being. You are alive. Let's put aside all the goods and bads and rights and wrongs for a minute. No harm done, believe me. And let's just issue an address of you, you being on the face of this earth. Because I feel that you being on the face of this earth is extremely unique. People talk about the universe. People talk about how many stars there are, 74 trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion. Do you know that there are more stars in the sky in this universe than there are grains of sand on the face of this earth? I hope they didn't went counting. Maybe that's why sometimes it takes so long for these research projects to actually bear fruit. But the point of it becomes that you are part of that incredible, mind-boggling number that comes out, a fact that is so surprising, that you are a part of that, that you exist, you.

This is your time, your life, a truest gift. Of course, as soon as you mentioned the word gift, the question comes up, from whom, to whom? A gift is a gift. A gift is a gift and it needs to be accepted. So personal it is, so individual it is, that you cannot give it to anyone. It is yours and yours alone. And it is beautiful in its nature. And it is simple. And it begs simplicity every single day. It begs to be appreciated every single day. It begs to be understood every single day.

It begs to be acknowledged every single day. And when you begin to understand that it is simple, that it is not complicated, it is not about theories, it is not about ideas, that when you are thirsty, you could be lecturing, you could be a career scientist who does nothing but research on H2O. And this is what you do, perhaps, all day long. You talk about H2O, water, water, water, water, water. And you're familiar with all the waters of around the world. And all these water manufacturing companies or bottling companies come to you to get your approval. But when you get thirsty, you want certificates. You want explanations. You want if you are on a podium talking to your audience and you go, can I have some water, please? I'm thirsty. And the, you know, MC or somebody says, just keep talking about water. That'll quench you. I mean, if you say water enough times through your mouth, obviously, right? Wrong. Water is water.

And we have been given this opportunity, every one of us, every one of us, has been given an opportunity to feel that contentment, to feel that peace. The peace, the peace, this is unique, the peace that can be felt in prison. Freedom that can be felt in prison. Is there such a freedom? Is there such a peace? Yes, there is. Not too long ago, I got a letter from a superintendent of prisons, one of the largest prisons in Asia. So please, you know, people have been watching your videos and this really helped them out. Can you please come here? This is urgent. And not just words, but something else too, that can take you inside. Because words are words. Words are words, but something that can truly take you inside and put you in touch with that reality that dances within, inside of you 24-7. 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and does not skip. That is your reality. And this heart, this being, wants to be content, wants to be in that peace. And nobody had to teach me that, you know, you and your life should have peace. Nobody had to tell me that I know that and I do not know of a single person on the face of this earth who does not know that. Because it is inherent. And I feel that even that thirst inside of me to quench that feeling, to quench that thirst, is a gift in itself. And now is my opportunity. Every day that comes is an opportunity to be fulfilled, in reality, not in theory, not in some abstract concept, not in some abstract concept. Peace. Yes, that beautiful sunset, beautiful beach, beautiful palm trees, the butterfly, the dove.

It doesn't work. It's a great picture. It's soothing. It's wonderful. But unless I have felt peace, that one peace that can be experienced in the middle of a war. Because we all think we are free. Somebody coming along and saying, are you free? Of course, I'm free. Are you? Are you really free? Free of freedom that no one in this world could possibly take away from you. That's freedom. confuse liberty and freedom. The fact that you have a liberty to be able to turn left or right as a pedestrian, confuse that with freedom. But yeah, I'm free to go left or I'm free to go right. That's liberty that has been given to you. In this existence, you have taken account of many in your life. You have your family, and you have taken account of that. You have your friends, and you have taken account of that. And you have your career, you have your job, and you have taken account of that. Good. Good. Wonderful. But in taking account of all of that, do not forget yourself.

You. People go, is that selfish? I have never thought of myself, you know, in terms of me. But somebody did. Because they send you the breath, not somebody else. You. The time, the life has been given to you. You. And should you accept it? Of course. With great gratitude. Not like, well, I deserve this. I've been good. No, but with great gratitude and great humility, thank you for today. Thank you for what I have. Not thank you for what I have. But thank you for what I have. So many aspirations we have. And should we have them? Yes. But what concrete step have we taken to fulfill those aspirations?

I have a joke for you. Before this gets too serious, I have a joke. There was this guy, and he lost his job. So he prayed to God. God, you know, please, let me win the lottery so I can continue taking care of my family, continue taking care of my house, continue to take care of all the things that I take care of. And he anxiously awaited, and anxiously awaited, for the lottery to come. And sure enough, somebody else won it. Not him. So he got on his hands and knees, and he prayed again. He said, God, please, please, I've lost my house, and I've lost my job, and I want to lose my children, and I want to lose any integrity. Please, please, please, could you please arrange it where I could win the lottery and make everything okay? And he anxiously awaited with great affirmation that, yes, it'll come through. But sure enough, somebody else won the lottery. This is the third time. Oh, God, please, you know, I've been good. I'll always be good. I love you. It's hard times. I just need a break. I've lost my job. I've lost my house. I've lost my car. I'm about to lose my kids. Please, please, please, God, please, I just ask you. I've never asked you for anything else. Please, God, just one time, can I please, please, please win this lottery? And all of a sudden, there was this big thundering boom. To this man's surprise, there was God talking to him and saying, listen, could you please do me a favor and buy a lottery ticket?

So, when I came across this joke, it was perfect. Because that's our situation too. We have all these aspirations. And where do all these aspirations lead to? They lead to being content. That's why we have it. Good job, good career opportunities, good family, good this, good this, good that, so that one day we can be content. But that one action to be able to find the contentment that we have already been given, we never take in our lives. People hand us formulas, we accept formulas. Whether these formulas work or not, I know. I know. I make no claims to you. The only claim I can possibly make is the same claim that I have experienced myself. That is that when I was able to look within, inside of me, I found a simple reality. Simple. A simple seed.

A simple thirst and a simple water that could quench it.

I found that at times when everything becomes so complicated, you see, all this complication is very tricky. It's really, really tricky. Because when I am on top, it doesn't matter how complicated it gets, everything is fine. I'm surfing. I did this, and I did that, and I got this, and I got that, and I created this, and I created that. It's only when I find myself lying flat on my back, going, what happened? That's when I realize everything is complicated. That word complicated is the perspective you get lying on your back at the bottom of the barrel looking up. Complicated. When you look from the top down, simple. I did this, I did this, I could accomplish this, I have done this, I have done that, and everything else is there. And it comes back to who are you? Are you this complex little machinery in whose life all these gears are turning and all these interactions are happening? Or are you this being on the face of this earth as beautiful as a flower, as beautiful and as fragile as a dew, that is here? In whose heart it is yearning to be content, wanting to be content? Like every person on the face of this earth. We have learned differences, but we haven't learned similarities.

I have heard so much talk about peace. You wouldn't believe it. Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace. Sometimes you wonder what are you referring to? Peace of what? Because inner peace needs to be explored and discovered because it is dancing in the heart of every single human being. It is not awake, it is with you. What is essential to you, what you need, has been given to you, has been given to you.

When you are tired and you need to sleep, which I can see a lot of people are at that junction now. When you are tired and you need to sleep, you actually need to go somewhere and turn a little wheel or a machine and go, okay, I'm ready. Hit me with sleep. That's all you need to do. I've seen it. I have seen people fall asleep in airplanes cockpit. It's okay. Person needs to sleep, person needs to sleep. I'm sitting there, I'm awake. He goes to sleep, few minutes later I wake him up. Time to wake up. I have seen people go to sleep in buses. You would think that's such a private thing to do. Not when sleep hits. I see them, they are fighting, at first they fight it. And then, slowly it comes and it overpowers them and the eyes go. They didn't have to make a phone call. They didn't have to pick up their cell phone and go, send some sleep my way. I know a lot of people have trouble falling asleep. They are lying there thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking. What's going to happen tomorrow? Is tomorrow going to be a good day? When are my problems going to be over? When will I be on the top of the situation again? When is all this complicated stuff? It's the view.

Is it going to go away? No. And all they need to do is know. Know.

That all the okay that you are looking for is in you. The greatest wealth that you are looking for is in you. Wealth isn't about money. Wealth is about how wealthy do you feel. I knew a guy, he was a friend of mine. He was really wealthy. He was incredibly wealthy. But he never felt wealthy. Never. One day his wife, she wanted, it was cold. She wanted a warm coat. And so she actually said to her husband, can you please get me a nice warm coat? You know, it's cold. And he says, no. So I realized she wanted a coat. She was obviously cold. So I got her a coat. I had somebody go and get her a coat. Presented her that coat. And she was very, very happy. And he looked at her and said, see, I told you you'd get one. So he was incredibly wealthy, but he never felt wealthy in his life. He never felt that. What do you feel in your life? People go and they see the conflict in their life. But they never see that simplicity that is dancing in their life. And it is a shame to have lived and never experienced that. It is a shame to have that potential. To have the wealth of the universe. But have died feeling penniless. Because that is what you are all about. That's what you are all about.

And to a lot of people, these words may seem like, well, these are incredible words. We've heard them before. Is this supposed to pep you up? No, if it's just words, as soon as you find out you've got a parking ticket, all this will evaporate. That's the problem with words. But it is not about words. It is about something that I call Knowledge, a know-how to be able to go within.

Four techniques, four ways. None of the stuff of, you know, I know the emcee said she's a yoga teacher. It's not about putting your, you know, neck or your leg on top of your neck or getting into one of those contorted positions. I was born in India, but I can't do it. And once upon a time, a long time ago, when I was quite young, I came to one of the places on California coast, I think it was Carmel. And when I arrived there, all these people came to see me. And they were very excited, a young boy, you know, let's go talk to him. And there was one lady who was a yoga instructor. And so she came too. And she, of course, realized that a lot of her clients were there. So she wanted to, you know, make a little impression on them. And so she asked me, what do you think about yoga? And I said, zero. That really ticked her off. And she left. She didn't even finish up. She didn't even allow me to finish up my answer. And then, of course, after she left, I said, but let me explain. You are one. You are one. And then everything else is zero. Place it in front of you. And it doesn't mean anything. You stay one, zero stays zero. Place that zero after the one, and you get a 10, and you get 100, and you get 1000, and you get 100,000, and you get a million.

And so goes the story. Because it is about you. Place that feeling first in your life, because it is important. And then let all the zeros fall in place, and everything makes sense. Put all the zeros first, you stay you. And what is the saying? This is as ironic as it is.

Here's the saying. Empty-handed, you came, and empty-handed, you have to go. There's no mistake. This is a mathematical error. Zeros have been placed at the wrong place. So, empty-handed, you came, and empty-handed, you have to go. Switch it. And empty-handed, you came, but empty-handed, you do not have to go. Because that person, in that moment, can be full of anguish, and of all the things that didn't happen, or they can be a person who can be in complete and total gratitude. Which one do you want to be? What do you want in your life? Let me tell you something about wanting something in your life. It's a matter of practice. Whatever you practice the most, whatever you do the most, you will get good at it. Good or bad, I'm not here to judge. People get in the habit of scratching their head. They get good at it. Before you know it, you get good at it. Anything? In fact, you get so good at it, that sometimes somebody says, hey, stop scratching your head, you're going to go bald, and you go, you know, stop scratching my head. But let's take it one step further. If you practice anger all day long, you are going to get good at it, and it will take you nothing to get angry. Just like that. Anger will come, hit you, and you're good at it, because that's what you practice. But now, what if you practice peace? By the very nature, you will get good at it. And when you get good at practicing peace, then imagine the possibilities in your life. If you practice joy in your life, you will get good at it.

There are people who absolutely practice hatred, and they are good at it. They even need an excuse. Nothing.

Nothing. I have seen people, a car pulls up next to them, not doing anything to them, and they're already hitting the guy. He says, why were you there? Your car is green. Why is your car green? It should have been blue. Airplanes. You know, you sit in a seat, because that's the seat that's assigned to you. And the person comes, why are you sitting there? I could have been sitting there. If you weren't alive, I could have been sitting there. You come out of a bathroom, and it's the look that somebody gives you. Why were you in there? I think it's the same reason you're going to go in there. But people get good at that hatred, then that's what happens. Whatever you practice the most, you will get good at it. So be careful what you practice every day. Be careful what you practice every day. run around in your life being unconscious.

This is one life you have. One opportunity that you have. You see them trying to send a space vehicle into outer space, and it's like, oh, this is a very important mission. And everybody pays attention. We got to pay attention. This is an important mission. Every time I hear that, it's like, wait a minute. Isn't life an incredibly important mission? And you're the captain. You get to call out the shots. You get to say, yes, it is important to me to feel that joy in my life, to feel that happiness in my life, that I want to be conscious for every single moment. I know there are people going, well, that's too much. All right. As many as possible. And why did I back off? I didn't really back off. Because if you started practicing being conscious, then I know you're going to get good at it. And when you get good at it, the joy will take over.

I go around the world. I know. I have never seen the world. I've seen people. And people, whoever they are, have the same aspirations as you do. Same problems as you do. Oh, get carried away by this language thing. People do. Oh, but this is a different language. This says the same exact thing. That's why you can translate between languages. It's very, very hard to translate between what monkey says and if you were to translate that into English. Huh? Be hard. But if somebody is speaking in Spanish, somebody is speaking in Japanese, it's completely possible because we all say the same thing. I feel good. I'm sorry. I love you. We are here. We are here. And that is the most incredible reason to celebrate. Let me tell you about a celebration that is not about your friends coming together. It is not about having decorations in your house, not about having food and drinks and napkins and plastic forks and plastic knives and paper plates and cake. No, no, no, no, no, no. There is another kind of celebration. And in this celebration, you celebrate being alive with yourself. And there's only one other that is invited to the party. Who? The one that resides in your heart. In your heart. In that most magnificent place. Most magnificent place.

The purest of all places that is your heart. And someone resides there. That's your closest friend. There for you. 24-7. No cell phone required. No language required to communicate. No words required to be read. All is here with you. Have you ever had the grandest of the parties? Because this party has a possibility of never ending. All other parties have to end. This has the possibility of never ending. This has the possibility of going on and on and on for the rest of your, your feeling. Somebody asked me a question once. How will we know? Who will be the judge of this? Not me. Not me. Not a third person. Only you can be the judge. Only you can be the judge. If one toast was enough to satisfy your hunger, you are the only one who can be the judge. If one glass of water satisfied your thirst, or you need another one. Only you. Only you. Only you can be the one who can say the party has truly begun. Or no show. And in this party, remember one thing, if there is a no show, it's not going to be the one that resides in your heart. It's going to be you that's the no show. You didn't show up because you were caught in some idea of how this party should be. Come. Come as you are. Come as who you are. What you are. Not about your baggage. Not about your accomplishments. Not about your goods and bads and rights and wrongs and the judgment of this world.

Let it be. Let it be. But in that freedom, and with that understanding of true gratitude, come take the step towards your own destination. Understand in clarity. Walk in clarity every single day because that is a possibility. Recognize this opportunity because it needs to be recognized. Search for that peace in your life and find that peace in your life because you need to have that peace in your life. And not because I say so, but because in your own heart you have felt the need for that peace. Come from there. A lot of people say, well what should I do? I say go feel the thirst. You want to look for a well. You know the difference? If I send somebody, go look for a well. All they will look for is the structure of the well. That's all. Go find the well. But if I send a thirsty person, go look for a well, he will not or she will not be looking at the structure. They will actually go there, look down and go, is there water in this thing or not? That's what thirst does for you. It's peculiar. It's peculiar.

Love is like that too, is it not? If I say go look for somebody so-and-so, and you love that person, that so-and-so, and you go into a room and you see a similar facsimile of a person, oh yeah he's there. But if you love that person, facsimile of a person will not do. Sure. Love has a way with that. That is your fundamental step. I'm not talking about reasoning. Reasoning is only necessary when reality is amiss. And a lot of people might say, well say that again. Yes. When reality is amiss, reasoning is required. If I'm sitting in a bathtub and all of a sudden I feel heat coming from underneath, and actually I have a better analogy. This is the one I usually give. You're driving down a freeway. And you're driving down the freeway and you see that there is a 747 coming towards you. And he's still going. Is there an airport nearby? Must be going to the airport. Getting bigger and bigger and bigger. He isn't going to land on the freeway. 747s aren't allowed to land on the freeway. Cars are supposed to be on the freeway, not airplanes. You're sitting there holding, all of a sudden it's getting really big. What are you going to do? Reason? When it has become obvious this thing is coming at you, then you will go. All reasoning stops. But so far it was not obvious. Is there an airport nearby? 747s really land on highways? He's not really happening. This must be an illusion. This cannot be true. This is not happening. This is not a reality. This is not this, because this is what we get caught up in.

People talk about peace, this is what people get caught up in. People talk about that love, this is what people get caught up in. People talk about that inner friend, and people get reasoning, reasoning, reasoning, and I'm not talking about reasoning. I'm talking about practical experience. Because until you have experienced it, it is no good. How does it begin? What is the process? Get the ticket first. Then pray, but get the ticket first. And what is the ticket? Is this something you want in your life? Think about it. Be clear. Whatever it is, it is inside of you. That's what it has to be felt. Not a bunch of ideas, not a bunch of concepts, but a feeling. Can you become simple enough? Be simple enough to begin, to begin the greatest study of your life, to read the most incredible book ever written, the book of hearts. Yours. Why simple enough? You know, there's a saying, it is hard to teach old dogs new tricks. Now, I've heard that. There was a time when I was young. So now when I hear that statement, it's like, wait a minute, why am I being included? But when there is that child has that simplicity, that child is willing to learn, can learn. Nothing has to be undone. It is only one button.

But when there is so much that is already being placed there, then all that has to be taken out and dumped before new stuff can come in. Being simple in your life is easy, because that's who you really are. That's who you really are.

People look at picture of a painting of Mona Lisa, they stand there in line to look at Mona Lisa, and I wish they would just put a mirror there. Far more incredible than Mona Lisa. Oh, they think she has a mysterious smile. I have seen more mysterious smiles on the faces of human beings than you can possibly imagine, and always changing. Always. That Mona Lisa is static. I hope. But these Mona Lisas, they're not static. When their smile breaks out uncontrolled, even Michelangelo would have been in awe. Even though he was an incredible Creator, even he would be in awe. This is who you are. You've been given a time to be, to experience, to feel.

This is where we feel pain like we haven't ever felt. And this is where we feel joy like we have never felt. You have the ability to cry like that cannot be compared, and you have the ability to laugh unparalleled. This is where it is. This is where you are. Awaken to your possibility. Awaken to that simplicity in your life. My role, my role is as much as you want it to be, and as little as you want it to be. If from listening to my words, they have brought you a few moments of joy, allowed you to contemplate something nice, I am deeply honored. I am deeply, deeply, deeply honored. And if you want to know more, I'd be happy to help. Whatever, whatever, because I can make it happen.

I'm not being, this is not coming from ego, this is coming from incredible humility, believe me, because that's what it takes. That's what it takes. From my side, I have to be in touch with my heart. If I'm not, I know I can make a complete you-know-what out of myself coming and sitting here. As I wrote no speech, no notes, nothing. This is about the celebration of being alive. I'm not saying to you that I have problems. I'm a human being, and that's what qualifies me the best to be able to help you. Because I understand the problems you like. Good you like, joy you like. Why? Because I like it too. I have my problems, and when I go inside and I feel that feeling, I know what is reality and what is fake. The joys of this world, the pains of this world are the Shakespeare's wheels. They will come and they will go. Wait a little while. If things are going where you want them to be, wait a little while. If things are not going your way, same advice, wait a little while. They'll go your way. Everything will seem fine again, and it's not about that. It's about that one unchanging feeling that resides in the heart of every single human being. Capture it. Capture it for yourself, and be in that gratitude. There is a DVD, Discovering More, for those of you who want to find out more what this is all about. This is about a real feeling.

This is what makes this unique. Anybody can come and say the words, and I'm sure somebody can come and do them better than I do, but it's not about that. It's about that feeling. Got to get to that feeling all the way. This is not about nice drawings of water. Are you thirsty? Are you thirsty? Look at this water. Look at this water, and we should have clean water. We should have pure water. We should have this water. We should have that water. No, and for those who are thirsty, I carry a pitcher of water. Who want it? And it would be my privilege, and it would be my honor to fill your glass. hy do I do it? Why do I do it? For the same reason you turn on your radio louder when your favorite song comes on. Sounds trivial? It's not. For the same reason that your little child says, Mommy, listen to this, because we're human beings, and the desire to share the good news, because this is the best news.

This is the best news that there is. Plus, people say, well, give it to me, but remember, what I need to give you is already inside of you, so get all into this thing of, what is it? What is he going to give me? What does he give? No, the feeling that you're trying to get to is already inside of you. Know that. Know that. I might give you a mirror, but the face you will see is your own. Mirror doesn't create faces, and that's what I do, and if you have any questions about it, it is quite clearly spelled out in Discovering More. The process of being able to receive the techniques or being able to receive Knowledge is simpler than it's ever been, and it is incredibly, incredibly simple, so thank you very much for coming. Have a wonderful, wonderful evening, and most importantly, have a wonderful, wonderful life. Thank you very much, and good night. Thank you.
